Horse crap. This school did not come here from Virginia because of our "rich" history in Charles Town. We did fine without them. They came here only because it benefits APUS or AMI whatever their names are, because of their accrediation, it is cheaper in taxes, facilities and staff. They are trying to buy the community by giving a few bucks here and there to our public school system when they bought a few systems/computers a couple of years ago, big deal, and now they are telling us our history that is 100 times older then their on line E-mail school? Don't think so. I'm glad they are here, but let's not try to fool anyone about why they are here and the monies and time that they donate to the community are relatively small compared to what they haul in financially. Just sayin'.

Jim Surkamp, who will serve as a panelist during the colloquium, is the creator of ****civilwarscholars****, an online resource for those researching the Civil War in Jefferson County.

I was fortunate enough to go on a history tour of Jefferson County with Jim Surkamp and his knowledge on the history of Jeff Co was very impressive to say the least and not just Civil War history. I feel sure that this will be a great event and am very pleased having APUS as a neighbor.
